  • The classified documents case in Florida remains contentious, with Smith appealing a judge's dismissal of the case.
  • Legal experts view Smith's actions as strategic moves to keep the cases viable ahead of the 2024 election.
  • Trump continues to decry the charges as politically motivated, maintaining his stance of victimhood.
  • Both cases are unlikely to go to trial before the upcoming presidential election, influencing campaign dynamics.
